4th Grade Short Cycle Math Assessment by Tanya Martin https://padlet.com/tandc14/4thmath Fractions en-us 2015-01-26 16:19:43 UTC 2025-10-02 03:30:43 UTC hello@padlet.com http://d262le4z25sx36.cloudfront.net/portraits/sticky.jpg Based on the first Math Quarterly Assessment, students needed more practice using fractions. tandc14 https://padlet.com/tandc14/4thmath/wish/47346054 Questions to consider and respond:

1. How did your students do on the fraction assessment "retest" as compared to the first time they were assessed?

2. What are some strategies that worked extremely well with your students?

3. What are your next steps with using fractions and this mathematical concept?

I believe the entire fraction bar is busy and hard to concentrate on for 4th grade students, some can find their way through the forest, but the majority needed another method.  Students were given this the first time and had NOT experienced much fraction instruction, but the second time after establishing an AIMs compendium and several practice sessions plus a clever chant about fractions, students experienced more success.   https://padlet.com/tandc14/4thmath/wish/48380854 2015-02-03 15:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tandc14/4thmath/wish/48380854 Alexis Pino pinoa https://padlet.com/tandc14/4thmath/wish/48410504 My students did not do as well as a expected. I think teaching them the old school style of finding equivalent fractions

works better than the fractions chart which was a little confusing for my students. My next steps is using a compendium

with my next module.
